Digital Photos

Digital Photo Essentials

Digital photo management involves your client’s digital photo collection — native digital images, scanned images, and videos. This includes gathering all images into a central hub, deduplicating, adding metadata, and creating backups. There are also opportunities for editing, image correction, and photo restoration depending on your skill level.

This work can be done remotely by logging into your client’s computer or you can gather your client’s images on an external drive and complete the work on your computer.

Many members also outsource this work to other Photo Managers; search the directory to find a colleague to work with.
